Dorothy Parker
I saw "Mrs Parker and the Vicious Circle" again this weekend.
God, she was so brilliant and so unhappy and such a drunk.
"I shall stay the way I am
because I do not give a damn."
"Now I know the things I know, and I do the things I do;
and if you do not like me so, to hell, my love, with you!"
"I'd rather have a bottle in front of me,
than a frontal lobotomy."
"It's a small apartment, I've barely enough room to lay my hat
and a few friends."
"Outspoken by whom?"
"Love is like quicksilver in the hand.
Leave the fingers open and it stays.
Clutch it, and it darts away."
"It serves me right for putting all my eggs in one bastard."
"Razors pain you; rivers are damp;
acids stain you; and drugs cause cramp.
Guns aren't lawful; nooses give;
gas smells awful; you might as well live."
